Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0562349A2] 2.1. In the production of bundles composed of a plurality of individual packs, especially of a group (11) of cigarette packs (10), a check as to the complete number of cigarette packs (10) of a group (11) is necessary. Packs (13) thus found to be defective are marked in an externally visible manner and are separated out later, especially in the region of a discharge-conveyor track (26). 2.2. The marking of the defective packs (13) takes place by the folding round of a folding tab of an outer wrapping (12), especially of a lower tab (33) in the region of a side wall located at the rear in the conveying direction. The lower tab (33) forms a gusset (36) folded round outwards. <IMAGE>
